I do not criticize you but I always find it astounding that in the US everything gets painted in black, white, yellow, red, what-ever while shouting loudly “it’s not racist”.
Maybe people over there should stop telling people what skin color this and that guy has. If most don’t know there can’t be racism based on color. In my country newspapers usually refrain from reporting the skin color because that could lead to increased racist behavior.
You can argue that’s self-imposed censorship but if it keeps people friendly and peaceful it might be an alternative on occasions.

France has tried that, obsessively, and their racism problem remains massive. Ignoring a problem does not make it go away, especially when the problem is often with institutions mistreating minority groups while claiming that it was completely justified.

It’s not about ignoring. It’s about preventing goading people into doing something stupid.
